The temporary exhibition is above the pioneer works in mountain railway construction. She is designed by the former village doctor Robert Ganz and the engine-driver Roger Rieker. Due to the great success in the years 2012 and 2013 the exhibition is also repeated in 2014 from 11 May to 19 October.
Loans objects of around 130 individuals and 30 companies provide an overview of funicular railways, aerial cableways, ski lifts, chair lifts, cable cars and mountain railways with rack or/and adhesion traction. Under these loans are approximately 200 models, over 500 photographs, over 100 documents as well as 10 video presentations.
In the models predominate models of standard gauge adhesion Bernese mountain railway company Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon (BLS), models and dioramas of most Swiss mountain narrow gauge railways as example the Rhaetian railway (RhB) or narrow gauge mountain rack railways as example, the Brienz Rothorn railway (BRB), Wengernalp railway (WAB) and the Jungfrau railway (JB). But will also be shown rarities such as different models of the Golden Mountain Pullman Express train of the Montreux-Bernese Oberland railway (MOB).
